YAY you!
I have a hard time on the weekends too. Mostly because it is easier for me to not have to make decisions during the week. During the week I pack my lunch and snacks, and that is it. I have my water and I know how many of those little bottles I am supposed to drink, and that is it. I eat by the clock sometimes at work, because it keeps me on track and because if I did not, I would not eat and then binge. At home, running around, sleeping in, not prepacking and for whatever reason not drinking anything, let alone water, gets me totally off track.
I am going to try packing stuff up the night before on weekends as well. Also, I tend to keep snacky stuff in my purse if I am going out, string cheese, roasted chickpeas, roasted pumpkin seeds, celery etc. That helps to keep hunger at bay and not binge. Then if we go out to dinner, I order a salad, dressing on the side and eat that first, then I take half the entree and put it right away, and cut the other half, in half. Usually, I am good to go. OH and I avoid sugar and "bad" carbs.
Hope it helps!
